Welcome to 7th Grade

The theme for the first half of the year is Ancestry. You will do research on a your country of Ancestry (pick one if you have more than one!). We will "write" a paper (for understanding formatting); create your family's coat of arms in Photoshop; and create an interactive PowerPoint, including hyperlinks to information and/or cool sites you found. 7th grade does a joint project with the English and Art departments, and you will use a cool program called Photo Story 3 to create a movie! We have some new tools that we think you will really like, as well. I think you'll enjoy this year!

7th Grade Art Project

  • Use this document to find information about "Artists and Art Movements," in addition to your own research.

Custom Search for Art Project
  • I set up a custom search for your project in the event you have problems finding information. You will need to be specific in your searching; use Boolean search methods (use quotes, + or - signs, etc.):
